September 2011 4C Quarter Results
School communications group MGM Wireless Ltd (ASX:MWR) is pleased to announce financial results, company advancements and customer growth for the September 2011 quarter.
Customer Growth
-
Operational school this quarter, September 30, 2011 738
-
Operational school last quarter, June 30, 2011 698
The company continues to achieve strong levels of enquiry and take-up of its SMS text messaging services by both government and independent schools using our Internet based sales and marketing strategies.
Revenues
- Revenue for the quarter was $498,155, up 5% from the same period last year of $474,931. This was attributable to both the increasing number of school installations and growing SMS traffic volume.

Message Traffic
The company is experienced accelerating growth in SMS traffic, which constitutes a key indicator of underlying business growth and school use of its products and services. The graph below shows 3 year historical SMS traffic, with month 0 being the current month (October 2011), with value as of 5:00PM, Thursday, October 27, 2011.
==> picture [436 x 178] intentionally omitted <==
Month 1 represents September 2011, month 2 August 2011 and so on. The troughs in the graph reflect reduced traffic during school holidays, with the lowest troughs being the summer school holidays. The purple line indicates the traffic sent through the company’s high security Sydney-based data centre deployed earlier this year; the blue line is the total traffic including the company’s older infrastructure which is no longer in production.
During the September quarter, the company sent 3.44 million SMS messages, compared with 2.94 million messages for the corresponding quarter last year, representing a 17% increase. This solid gain reflects the company’s efforts in providing new services through its software and training to educate users how to make greater use of SMS communication for social (non attendance related) purposes.
In other developments:
-
In the two weeks since the company announced its entry into the childcare market, enquiries from over 60 sites have been received, The company expects to convert these enquires to sales in the current quarter.
-
The company continues to actively progress the development and rollout of its new products to drive revenue growth. These include School News Channel and Rollmarker solutions, both of which continue to progress towards commercialization. The company will keep shareholders and investors updated on developments.
The September quarter is the quietest period of the year, with schools focusing on a range of academic actives preventing them for making buying decisions. End of school term 3 school holidays are also a disruptive factor during the quarter.
../3
Cash Flow
The company generated a small operating cash flow surplus in the September 2011 quarter. This was slightly lower than for the same quarter in 2010 due to slow collections from schools resulting from term holiday school closures, and delays in processing of the company’s R&D Tax Grant of $273,000. The company has been advised it will receive the grant in the coming weeks.
But for these two factors, cash receipts would have been considerably higher than in the same quarter last year. Further, cash payments for staff costs and working capital were markedly lower than for the September 2010 reflecting operational improvements that have been implemented over the past year.
Nonetheless, during the quarter, the company experienced a blowout in its receivables to a total of $625,000 currently outstanding, which resulted in a much lower than planned closing cash balance of $21,541.81. The company does not expect any collection risk with these receivables, as amounts owing are from high quality debtors such as schools and the ATO.
Outlook
The December quarter is traditionally seasonally strong as the school year draws to a close. Accordingly, we anticipate a higher level of cash generation, and a marked winddown in the receivables position over the next few months.
Further, revenues and the cash position are expected to be boosted by ongoing school signings and a take-up of our offering by child care centres.
